Default A helpful LS7 fitting we are making

We had been getting a few calls for an oil pan adapter to convert the LS7 pan to AN style fittings. We machined a few and had them hard anodized. We sell the adapters with the o-rings for the pan side for $99. This will allow you to use whatever oil tank you want and use standard AN style fittings of your choice.

What volume tank do you recommend for the ls7? What size lines are sufficient? -8 an?

Regards,
Justin

The fittings we make will use a -12AN fitting. Not really practical to make a fitting for the oil tank side. I think most folks will use an aftermarket tank with AN fittings. If you have the GM tank, just hack off the GM fittings and weld on aluminum AN fittings. Any competent welding shop can handle this.

All you need is the appropriate weld on fitting such as this -12AN fitting from Earl's (997112ERL)

Probably a dumb question, but how well does the dry sump pan fit in the fbody chasis? Do the location of the outlets work with headers/etc?

It fits fine with the BMR k-member. No header clearance issues with the TPIS headers.
